    That was always the case. Being at the top pretty much requires being a bastard.

    That’s why the best ruler is no ruler.🏴

          Anarchy is a great way to get taken over by another country. As far as I know, anyway, maybe I’m missing something.

            Historically, anarchists have been very good at organizing effective and well motivated armies. Usually with democratically elected officers. Look up the Black Army of Makhno, CNT-FAI, EZLN and YPG, these are all good examples of anarchist (or anarchist-adjacent) armies.

              Statistically and unfortunately however, they have been very bad at not being taken over by non-anarchy eventually. And it’ll likely get worse for a while with robotics.
